Book Talks, Workshops, Colloquiums, and More
In 2023 we're keeping our calendar full year round! Every month you'll find a mix of genealogical deep dives, lectures from leading historians, and the latest in family history tech and digitization—and many of our events will be held both online and in-person in our beautiful NYC headquarters.

Research Trips with the NYG&B
Our research tours are an ideal setting for those just beginning their genealogy search or seeking answers to longstanding New York questions. Registration includes a pre-consultation with a professional genealogist and lectures to prepare you for the onsite guidance offered throughout the program. Register early, as a limited number of spaces are available for each tour and often sell out quickly.
Heritage Tours
Join the NYG&B's exclusive guided tours of Germany's Palatine region and Scotland in 2023. We work with onsite experts to provide an eclectic mix of private tours, educational events, and sightseeing. As with our research trips, these programs sell out fast, so be sure to register soon!
